The only excuse for the headline on this article is that the headline-writer is a Libertarian (amoral) twit.
Republican Lawmakers Pitch ‘Dirty Book’ Ban in Wisconsin Schools
"Dirty book?"
You mean "Obscene materials", don't you? Mockery is sophomoric; you can draw your own conclusions about the headline-writer here.
How about the substance?
...State Rep. Scott Allen, R-Waukesha (pictured above, right), and Republican state Sen. Andre Jacque, R-DePere (pictured above, right), are looking for support for their plans to ban material they deem obscene from school libraries, as well as allow parents to sue librarians if they break the law.
“LRB-0522 prohibits schools from using the tax-payer funded common school fund to purchase obscene materials. LRB-0423 removes the exemption for school employees to be held liable for displaying obscene material,” the two wrote on a note to possible co-sponsors in the state legislature....
...Wisconsin state law defines obscene material as something that describes or shows sexual conduct in an offensive way with no educational or literary value....
Maybe the juvenile who wrote this essay thinks that graphic (as in hand-drawn) images of oral/genital sex acts are "educational" and have "literary value" for 6th-graders (or younger!)
He should ask an adult about that.
